Understanding Dating Standards
You might have a super specific picture in your mind of their ideal partner, but how realistic are those expectations? Dating standards are the qualities, traits, and characteristics you look for in a romantic partner. While having standards is healthy, being too rigid can significantly narrow your dating pool.
It's most important to find someone who shares your values, treats you well, and communicates openly with a strong desire to continually improve the relationship. Here are some resources to help you on your journey to find love!
- Put yourself out there and meet lots of new people. See what kinds of people you vibe with!
- Consider what's truly non-negotiable versus what's a preference.
- Be open to dating someone who's different than your "type." Sometimes, your ideal partner might surprise you.
- Remember to be yourself. It's important to stay true to who you are, especially when looking to find someone to share your life with.
